The final electoral college count is Trump: 312, Harris: 226.
Just days after former President Donald Trump was projected to have won the presidency, Trump's transition team operation has begun, with transition co-chairs confirming that he will be selecting personnel to serve under his leadership in the coming days.
Trump is also the projected winner in Arizona, a state the former president flipped after losing it to Joe Biden in 2020.
Trump's projected win in the vital swing state marks a sweep of the battleground states.
Let's check in on the results in the seven main presidential swing states. As we've reported, Trump is already projected to win Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. And so far, more votes have been counted for him than for Harris in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin as well. That raises the possibility that he could sweep all seven states for a 312-226 Electoral College victory.
ABC News projects that John James has won reelection in Michigan's 10th District. This isn't a huge surprise, as our preelection forecast said this was a "Lean Republican" seat. Nevertheless, James is winning it by a notably large margin: 53-43%.
Wisconsin could be one of the next states to be projected. One of the big things we're waiting for there is for all the absentee ballots in Milwaukee to be counted, which is done all together at a central location. According to Alison Dirr of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, that process is just getting started.
ABC News projects that Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet has defeated Republican Paul Junge in Michigan's 8th District. Located around Flint, Trump did better in that part of the state than previously, but Democrats managed to retain this open seat held by retiring Democratic Rep. Dan Kildee.
